Press Release Summary: A week that showed so much promise ended up being a huge let
down. A lot of ink was spent on the take over of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by the
US government, and it allowed equity markets around the world to open the first
trading day up 3%. This sadly didn’t last, as traders realized quickly that this
take over was akin to putting a band-aid over a third degree burn; it was not a long
term solution.

Press Release Body: The theme for next week is inflation, as UK, EU and USA are all
releasing some sort of inflation numbers. This is important for traders of Equities,
Futures and Forex as these numbers will have a strong effect on each of those
categories. We expect inflation to be high in every country, as rising commodity
prices are filtering into the consumer prices at this time of the year. Also on a
side note, this Wednesday, the Bank of England will be releasing minutes from their
last meeting, while most of the information is stale; there are a few useful titbits
which can give you a glimpse into the future about the BOE’s concerns when it votes
on a rate decision.

There is uncertainty in the equities market; smart traders use every move up to
short the overall market. The most obvious sign that the market is jittery came on
Monday, when in the middle of a huge run-up, a stale story of a bankruptcy filling
by American Airlines caused a huge dip in the major indexes.

As a result, traders at BetOnMarkets believe a one touch to the down-side of the
Wall Street index is the best value play out there. A one touch at 11200 on the Wall
Street Index (Dow Jones) with a 14 day term returns more than 22% ROI.
